automation-anywhere
Automation Anywhere is an enterprise robotic process automation (RPA) platform that enables organizations to automate business processes using software bots. Their developer platform, centered around the Automation 360 Control Room, provides a comprehensive suite of REST APIs for managing bot deployment, workload queues, credentials, repositories, and analytics, as well as an SDK for building custom action packages.

Features
All Control Room APIs use JWT-based authentication. Tokens are obtained via the Authentication API and passed in the X-Authorization or Authorization Bearer header. OAuth 2.0 is supported from v.27 onwards.
APIs are versioned (v1, v2, v3, v4) with backwards compatibility maintained for at least two years. Deprecated endpoints are announced with at least one additional year of availability.
Each Control Room instance exposes a Swagger UI at /swagger/ for interactive API exploration and testing with live credentials.
API Tasks allow RPA bots to be exposed as synchronous REST endpoints, enabling external applications to call bots as microservices with input/output parameter exchange.
Work item queues allow high-volume data to be fed into RPA pipelines from ERP, CRM, and BPM systems with status tracking and result retrieval.
Use Cases
